Sibling Rivalry

A lot of people ask me how the cats are getting along with the new baby. I get the feeling they expect some kind of baby vs cat shenanigans. (I blame this on Disney's Lady and the Tramp, which cruelly and erroneously showed Siamese plotting to steal the baby's milk).



But this is not true. The cats have been very good about the new baby.In fact, I they have been the perfect little helpers.

Dixon keeps an eye on her while she sleeps.

Magellan warms her bouncy seat for her.

Mason helps me feed her.

Bella helps burp her.


Now, it is true that they all run away when she cries (Dixon runs to the top of the stairs and cries too, so that both the baby AND the cat are raising a ruckus), and they do like to sleep on her changing pad when they get into the nursery, and sometimes they will abscond with a pacifier or two to bat around, but other than that they've been the perfect big brothers and sister.

Well, at least until she gets old enough to get a death grip on a tail or two, anyway.

A little tidbit about me.. I despised Siamese Cats for YEARS b/c of that movie. HATED- so of course, I married a man who had one.

When Jolie was born, Li (the cat) would sit outside her bedroom window meowing if she was crying in the middle of the night.
When she became a toddler, he would sit & let her beat his head. And if she grabbed a tail, he would politely run away.

If anyone else in the house treated him that way? They'd be missing an eye.
